After a afterburner raptor angled exit rear box for my bugeye wagon.
If anyone is looking to sell / upgrade their system I'd be keen to hear from you.
Also would like one with the extra bits if poss, bung (young kids and long journeys) and the adaptor to 2.5".
If anyone has one I'm keen to hear.
Thanks
Ah. Not good mate.
Don't want to go into it on here really but yes the car wasn't as advertised and had some serious issues that shouldn't have been left S they were.
Either way, it's moved on as have I and I now have something much better and to my liking.
Hope you get things sorted with yours mate.
That's cool. Thanks mate.
The old blue one, unfortunately I did yes. Wouldn't buy another one from him again.
No this is for my new wagon which I now have, just want to keep all as nice as I can with this.
In fairness I've just gone through more of the invoices and the previous 5 have the same make but are as you say 5w-40 so little confused why went to a 5w-30 on the last one.
Yeah may well give them a call tomorrow to see what's the best option.
Just thought id ask to see what others are using too as have never used Silkolene myself in the past on other cars so a new one for me.
Looking to change the oil in the scooby over the next week or so when I get a Saturday off at work and was just wondering what are people's suggestions to put in her?
52 plate wrx with various additions and running a healthy 315hp and is running a vf35 if it makes any difference to best result.
Invoice for last oil previous owner put in was for Silkolene PRO S 5w-30 Ester synthetic high perf oil from Opieoils.
Should I go the same stuff again or are there other options people would suggest?
Appreciate any help or advice on this as not totally sure which way to go with her.
Thanks in advance peeps :)
Looking for a very good condition Bugeye front bumper for a wrx wagon. Don't want one with any damage, not fussed about paint so much as unless it's in silver it'll be resprayed anyway but don't want anything with structural damage to it.
If anyone has or knows of one I'd be keen to hear please.
I'm located in the Essex area for anyone closer to home.
Cheers in advance
Can anyone give me any pointers as to how the front mudflaps are usually fitted on the bigeyes please?
Unfortunately my driveway took a dislike to the front ds flap this evening and has pulled what appears to be two mounts out and badly bent the bracket which is meaning there is contact between one of the corroded bolts and bracket and my tyre so haven't used the car this evening and missed out on going to a meet.
When it happened it was dark so again not really been able to see a lot but as these came with the car when I bought it two weeks ago and have not had one long enough to know the ins and outs of what and what not needed when fitting / removing these?
How does the inner arch come out and do I need to remove it to get to the bolts which attach the flap to the outer edge of the wheels arch?
Any advice great fully received.
Thanks,
Craig
That's cool mate, shame you couldn't get it fitted in the end then :(
I am also considering the Raptor as have heard loads of good reviews on it so am tempted. Although doesn't have the big name attatched it seems a decent system although will only be changing the rear on mine.
Ah I see, that's cool I will delve a little deeper first then.
Have you got the raptor fitted or rather another one on then? How does it sound and perform if so?
Just wondering as have heard mixed answers in the past but would a Blitz but spec R rear section off of a gc8 classic fit onto my gdb newage bug wagon or will it be totally wrong?
I have found one that would be what I'm after exhaust wise but it all depends if they are interchangeable or if totally wrong.
I'm thinking wrong as I thought quite a lot had changed between the two versions but am being given different answers by other people.
Anyone shed any light or confirm either way?
Thanks for the welcome back again. It wasn't a long break away but I did miss the car more than I thought I would.
I also had always been in the opinion of why would i want a wrx when there is the sti option however as it has been proven to me a well sorted out wrx can run rings round a lightly modded sti (well it does my old one) and that one had been given huge praise by several people for the way it performed and drove.
Either way I won't be so overlooking on the wrx's from now on as they are still pretty special even if they don't have a 6spd and other additions of it's bigger brother.
I did nearly get another sti which again had been well spec'd up but the owner started messing me around when I asked if I could get it checked out (at my expense) and then didn't get back in touch with me so then I found my wagon and again far nicer example than the black sti I was considering.
What you said is right, I am smiling with this one so much and that is all that matters ;)
Yep very true stants. Had to do it as thought it was going to implicate things at home and affect the children which isn't fair so I had to cut ties but as it turned out in the end the hasty reaction worked well in our favor.
Very pleased all round and wife and children prefer this one too so browny points all round lol :)
